I read this book partly because I recently watched the Ken Burns’ documentary on Mark Twain, and partly because I wanted to read this and Huckleberry Finn before reading James. I think it was interesting enough. I appreciated the humor that Twain wove into the story. The racism and language was hard to get through. Overall, I’m glad to check it off my list and move on.
